The Cyberpunk/Sony fiasco is funny because it’s clear Sony is only doing it out of spite because CDPR’s folly put them in a corner, leading them to promising consumers the ancient forbidden ethical business practice of “refunds” for a “purchases”, which isnt actually a promise they can make and entirely goes against Sony’s policy of “no refund fuck you” ever since the store was released.

Sony is so bullshit about this that they just went “fuck you, how dare you, you gross parasite, you disgusting little cunty worm, I loathe you, you’ll never work in this psn store again, we are taking your game off the storefront until it’s “”””fixed”””””, good luck with that good btw lol, also go fuck yourself”

Which is hilarious cause it’s basically all Sony can do to avoid setting a precedent for refunds. But now we really need to start asking Sony, “hey why can’t I get a refund if other people got a refund for Cyberpunk? :/ that’s not very fair!” Like please, if you’re unhappy with a game you bought off psn, if it’s running badly, if it’s just not the game you want, phone sony, ask for a refund and when they say “no, it’s against store policy”, mention how “well how come people are getting refunds for cyberpunk 2077 ;/?” It might actually force them to consider creating a system for refunds.

This is the only good thing we might get out of this shitshow if a game.

So my housemate had her car broken into and her PS Vita stolen a couple of years ago and whoever stole it made a dozen purchases in the space of 20 minutes before she found out it was gone and managed to change all her PlayStation passwords to lock them out. She got in touch with Sony to tell them it was stolen and she hadn’t purchased those games so, could she please have a refund. They refused. So she went to her bank and told them about the unauthorised purchases and they were like “sure! no problem!” and instantly refunded everything.

You know what Sony did?

They banned her account so she couldn’t access A N Y of the games she had bought off the PSN store because “hurrrrr unauthorised refunds” and she had to go through months of emailing and calling and sending them the police investigation number before somebody finally went “wtf, your vita was stolen why have we banned you???” and unlocked it. But it took months.

Sony are pieces of shit about refunds and always have been.
